Use a different type of mushroom.

Many mushroom varieties exist, so use a different kind as desired. These may include:

• Morel mushrooms
• Oyster mushrooms
• Porcini mushrooms
• Portobello mushrooms
• Shiitake mushrooms
• White button mushrooms

Likewise feel free to mix mushrooms, including a wild blend of morel and oyster mushrooms.

Deglaze with wine.

To enrich the flavor even more, add a splash of wine when cooking.

Simply add a couple of tablespoons of dry white wine after the mushrooms are cooked. Adding wine before mushrooms are cooked can prevent them from browning. Allow to cook for two minutes, or until the wine has reduced.

Also do not be alarmed, as adding the wine will produce major steam once it hits the pan.
